still missing you

JD

Still misssing you so very much. I talk to you as if you were still here. There are some difficult days every now and then. I know that life has to end for all of us one of these days. However, I wish you were here so that we could enjoy our golden years together but I relize that is was not to be. With you and Kevin gone, it seem that life has taken a different direction. I just wish that you and Kevin were here. I do miss you guys.

Next weekend will Make 4 years since you went to a better place.. I miss you so very much!??. Wish you were here but I understand. Love you beautiful!

Freely,
Oh how I miss you.Today was one of those days where I would just call you and you would say what's wrong ? You could feel when something wasn't right and knew just what to say to make better. Just the simplest thing reminds us of you daily. From tears to laughter we will forever keep in our hearts. Thanking God for beautiful moments that we've shared that are now Precious Memories. Missing u Momma

Hey Mommy, thinking about you a lot lately. I did get a chance to spend the holidays home and all of the grandkids were over to spend the night. We always talk about you when we are together. Every one misses you dearly. You will be happy to know that I have changed my mind and I am going to retire in SC(HOME) I will be stationed at PI next year. Jaleasa got her license and she is driving a car Kevin got for her. She thinks she has a Cadillac...lol . I miss you pretty lady

Hey Mom, missing you as always. I will finally be able to go home for Christmas. First time since 2009! My last Christmas in SC was my last Christmas with you. This year is going to be quite different . But I will try to get the grandkids together and we will have the best time of our lives and of course share memories of you. I miss you pretty lady. I wish you were here to share the special times that God has in store for Jaleasa and I . You would be proud of her. She is in her second year and doing pretty well. You and Kevin enjoy the holidays together and know we truly miss you two. Love you !!

Thinking about you pretty lady. I have a pic of you and Dad on my dresser, I look at it everyday and quite often wish that I could pick up the phone and you would be at the other end. I truly miss you.

Hey Mom, I was trying to do some homework but just couldnt get my mind of you and Kevin. I miss you two like crazy. I only wish we had more time. But I am certain one day we will meet again. Thank you for watching over me because I know you are. I love you dearly!

Missing you. Things have been crazy for me this past 9 months. I am sure you know. I dont know what to do , I am praying like you always use to tell me and I have finally wised up to leave it in Gods hands but it still seems to be messed up. Wish you were here because I know your presence would make it better. I miss you Mommy .Until we meet again. Love you

Had to take some time off , I am so tired! I really never slowed down through all that is been happening. I know you cant believe the other things happening in my life! Me either! So much at one time and it is tearing me apart but I am praying and sure hope one day all of the pain will go away. Miss you pretty lady , you know I would be calling you and crying on your shoulders about this but I cant. Love you Mommy!

Well its been over 30 days and still it seems like its not real. Jayy and I sat around talking about you and Kev today. We miss you guys. But one day we will all be together. Knowing that makes the pain bearable. I just wish I could talk to you guys. I never realized how much I relied on you two. I look at your pictures often and wonder what you are doing? Sometimes we joke about what we think you would be saying if you were looking down at us at times. I love you Freda Payne. I visited your grave a couple times when I was home. Missing you like crazy!

Mom, I know its been a while but for some reason, my other posts have not been posting. I had a dream about you Friday but I guess it was your way of telling me you were taking Kevin home with you. I'm going to miss him but I know he is in a better place with you. Mom its hard on me please help me get through this. I just cant seem to keep it together. I understand that the Lord has a plan for everyone and once your work is done on earth you go home but it hurts so bad...I miss you and love you both so very much. Take care

Dear mama,

My mom and i are doing fine. Your little grand daughter is gfowing up go be a very beautiful young lady. Ill always be your booga for ever and ever. I cant wait to be up there with you in Heaven. I remember you watching me and shayla play volleyball in grandma daisy's yard. Watch over her, i know you'll take care of her. I love you

-Little Lisa

Your birthday and our anniversary wa not the same with you not being here. Just to let you know that it is getting better as the days go by. I guess you know thatb I finally got to see the Grand Canyon and I also visited Las Vegas. The good thjing about it all, you were there in my dreams for the first fur days of my trip until I got to the Grand Canyon. I guess you wanted to make sure that I got there ok. Thanks for being there with me. I still get teary eyes every now. I found trusted friend that I can talk with and vent what I go through at times. I know that you know Rev. Hodges. I guess you and Mrs. Hodges look down on us and somehow formed that bond between us. Againh, Thank you for that. I do love and surely missess you alot. I wish that I truly had a better understanding of the issues that we face in life. I enjoyed my time with you, eventhough we had our differences at time, you were and always will be my loving wife. I love you and miss you very much. Love Joseph

Hey Mom, just wanted to wish you a happy birthday! I am sure you are having a party right now. I miss you so much. I have been getting ready for my move and so many times I picked up the phone to call you. I miss sharing my days with you . I love you Freda Payne and I now you are in a better place but the selfishness in me wishes you were here to share the good times with me. Take care pretty lady !!

Hey pretty lady, just thinking about you. I was getting ready for the move and I found so many pictures of you! You remember when we brought Jaleasa home from the hospital and you two fell asleep on the recliner? lol I still have that picture. Looking at those photos brought back so many good memories but still I was still sad. Will the pain ever go away? As I make my journey across country I pray that you continue to watch over me. I m iss being able to call you up and tell you all the crazy things that happen to me. You were truly my best friend . But I know you are so much happier now. Well you take care and know that I love and miss you!

Mother's Day 2011 was not the same without you being here. I shed a lot of tears on that day when I saw all the mothers that were present with the spouses. Visiting your grave and reading the plaque left by the grandchildren and the flowers that were left showed me how much you are love and missed by those that you left behind. I miss you a lot and think of you all the time. Most days I am fine, but there are thjose4 moments. I love you and miss you very much. Love you, Joseph

Hey Mommy, just wanted to let you know I thought of you as I rose this morning. I was sad because I realized I couldnt call you like I use to and you tease me about becoming an old lady...lol But you would be proud that I thank the Lord for one more birthday that I was able to see. I am still in the desert however I should be in the states by next week. Thank you for being my angel and looking over me while I am in harms way. Thank you for being you always thinking of others. I will visit your grave as soon as I hit Charleston and put some pretty flowers there for you. I miss you pretty lady and know that you are not forgotten. I love you with all my heart! Your little girl...

I love you misses you very much. It has been a few months since you left us to be with the lord, but it seem like only yesterday that you left us. The tears and the lonely feeling does creep up on me. It seem that you are very near because I can feel your presence from time to time. You are gone but will never be forgotten. You have been a part of my life for the largest part of my life. I wish you were here so that we could do some of the things we always wanted to do as we approach our golden years. I do miss you. Sorry about the tears, but you understand. I love you and miss. Love Joseph

Hey Mommy, just thinking about you! I truly miss hearing your voice! I should be home in a couple of months... Keep smiling down on me because that is when I am going to truly need your strength. The tempo here has kept me moving and when there is down time I am sleeping. There is nothing in this dusty country to remind me of home so it seems like time has stopped but I know when I get back reality will set in. Everyone at home has been able to slowly get used to you not being around but I feel as though you are still there. I love you Freda Payne (lol) and I miss you so very much...Lisa

Freely,
You are TRULY MISSED but, not FORGOTTEN. Each day as I remember the good times we've shared I would get sad but then I begin to SMILE and say THANK YOU.I am truly Thankful for you and our heart to heart conversations. It's so hard now to go to your house wihout hearing or seeing you.I didn't realized until the day after your funeral that God placed you in my life(18yrs ago) for a reason. When my mom passed you said to me that you can't take her place but that you will be there for me . And You have Always been there for me, EVEN today I know that you'll Always be with me.. IN MY HEART.I didn't understand it all at first but I do now.THANK YOU FREELY for all the LOVE that you gave and shown and for the support that you've give me and my children. I LOVE YOU Today,Tommorrow & Forever!!!!!

Missing YOU SOOO MUCH
YOUR Leslie

Mama, I miss you soooo much that it hurts.It was my first christmas without you and it was very painful to spend another day with out you.It's like a big part of me is gone and wish you were still here to give me your words of wisdom.You told me to suceed in school and work up to my potential.My last word to you was i love you and your last word to me was no more pain and i just can't let go that easy.You still are on my mind until this day you will never ever slip my mind. I know you are in a better place you've become a beautiful angel in the skies.As long as you're happy i'm happy. I love you so much!
<3,shayla

Mommy, I miss you so much but you taught me well and I know you are in a better place. It is amazing how the little things mean so much. Thinking back on some of our conversations I remember how good you made me feel when you expressed what I mean to you and how I will always be your little girl :) AS I write this tears flow heavily but until now the pain has just presented itself like no other pain. I tried to be strong for everyone during your homegoing but I have no more strength to do that, But do know I will be okay . I never had the chance to tell you just how blessed I have realized I am that you and Daddy chose me. Chose me to be your little girl, not many people can say that. I do thank God for giving me the chance to show you and tell you how much you mean to me. I feel confident when you made your decisions you knew that we would be okay. It will be a slow process but the one thing that came of all of this is a realization that life isnt promised and you can not sweat the small stuff. All that you went through taught me alot and made me a better person. Thank you for all the guidance and love you shared with Jaleasa and me. We miss you Mommy.

Lisa

Sweetheart: The first Christmas without you being here is very painful. I know that you are in a better place where there is no more pain or suffering but I still miss your presence. I love you and miss you.

Hey mama,
I know you saw papa and i visit your grave yesterday. We miss you soooo much. Everyone here is doing good. We know you're watching over us. We love you.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My Friend Mr. Dunmyer and Children:

The journey has been long, and the way has been difficult for your wife and mother, but one thing I can assure you is that death is but a paradox - it is the portal through which we enter the stream of eternal Life. "Is death, then, the last and final sleep? No, it is the last and final awakening."

Remember the time you had with her, and cherish the legacy she has left. Bless her as her soul journies through other experiences without the weight of her dross body; she is free and unlimited, with no chains to bind her.

I am away at the seminary this week in Miami and will not be with you, but my prayers go out to you.

Marian Carter

Beulah Washington

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To The Dunmeyer Family, I pray God's strenght to take you thru this time.
My mind runs back to Freely as we worked together to get her Cosmetology liscense, we had some good times then, but, right now she has no more pain & suffering, she was sweet and a good person.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I wish you peace and comfort in your time of loss.

To Feleasa & Family,
May God continue to keep you and yours during your time of bereavement. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.

During your time of bereavement, please know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have another building from God, a house not made with hands,eternal in the heaven.

Be confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord (II Cor. : 5)

Although we cannot be with you in person, rest assure that we are there in Spirit.

God bless you and the family!

Sincerely;

Rev. Harold L. Burnell
